Extremophiles, a Nifty Tool to Face Environmental Pollution: From Exploitation of Metabolism to Genome Engineering

open access: yesInternational Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021
Extremophiles are microorganisms that populate habitats considered inhospitable from an anthropocentric point of view and are able to tolerate harsh conditions such as high temperatures, extreme pHs, high concentrations of salts, toxic organic substances,

Phylogenetic Diversity of Archaea in Shallow Hydrothermal Vents of Eolian Islands, Italy

open access: yesDiversity, 2019
Shallow hydrothermal systems (SHS) around the Eolian Islands (Italy), related to both active and extinct volcanism, are characterized by high temperatures, high concentrations of CO2 and H2S, and low pH, prohibitive for the majority of eukaryotes which ...

Characterization of DNA Polymerase from Thermus thermophilus MAT72 Phage Tt72

open access: yesProceedings, 2020
Thermophilic phages are recognized as an untapped source of thermostable enzymes relevant in biotechnology; however, their biology is poorly explored. This has led us to start a project aimed at investigating thermophilic phages isolated from geothermal ...
